English summary: Michael Wolter presents studies on central themes of the mission of Jesus, the theology of Paul the apostle and the theology of history in Luke-Acts. He demonstrates that there is a distinct theology continuity among Jesus, Paul and Luke. At the same time, the studies show that first Paul and then Luke vary in the subjects they emphasized in order to reformulate the particular character of the Christian faith for the Christian communities in their own time. The author sees Jesus' claim to be the authentic representative of God's salvific care of Israel as the center of Jesus' mission. Paul develops the theological concept of a Christian identity and of a corresponding Christian ethos which are based exclusively on the faith in Jesus Christ, and Luke endeavors to explain the history of the Jewish-Christian parting of the ways as an integral part of the history of Israel. The author concludes the book with comprehensive studies on apocalypticism, the history of the concept of law, and the theology of sin. German description: Michael Wolter legt Untersuchungen zu zentralen Themen der Verkundigung Jesu, zur Theologie des Apostels Paulus sowie zur Geschichtstheologie des lukanischen Doppelwerks vor. Dabei arbeitet er heraus, dass es eine deutlich identifizierbare theologische Kontinuitat von Jesus uber Paulus zu Lukas gibt. Gleichzeitig machen die Studien aber auch sichtbar, wie erst Paulus und dann Lukas neue theologische Akzente setzen, um die Eigenart der christlichen Botschaft fur die Gemeinden ihrer Zeit jeweils neu zur Sprache zu bringen. Als Mitte der Verkundigung Jesu von Nazareth gilt Jesu Anspruch, authentischer Reprasentant von Gottes heilvoller Zuwendung zu Israel zu sein. Paulus entwickelt das theologische Konzept einer christlichen Identitat und eines ihr entsprechenden christlichen Ethos, die allein auf dem Glauben an Jesus Christus basieren. Im Mittelpunkt des Paulusteils steht eine langere Untersuchung, in der es darum geht, den engen Zusammenhang von Theologie und Ethos bei Paulus herauszuarbeiten. Dabei wird die Ethik als angewandte Ekklesiologie verstanden. Bei Lukas schliesslich steht das Bemuhen im Vordergrund, die Geschichte Jesu und die Geschichte der Trennung von Christentum und Judentum als integralen Bestandteil der Geschichte Israels verstandlich zu machen. Sein von Lk 1 bis Apg 28 reichendes Geschichtswerk ist als Epochengeschichte konzipiert, die eine in sich abgeschlossene Epoche der Geschichte Israels behandelt. Ubergreifende Studien zur Apokalyptik, zur Geschichte des Gesetzesbegriffs im fruhen Christentum und zum Sundenverstandnis vervollstandigen das Buch.
